Getting 'me too' right in Korea
Getting 'me too' right in Korea
Now that the dust is starting to settle after the hyped up debut of the “me too” movement in Korea, it is time to move beyond attention-grabbing incidents and start to lay the foundations for a meaningful discussion of how we can respond to the concerns of ordinary women in Korea about sexual harassment and abuse. On the bright side, there has been an extremely important shif...

From blather and seductive images to the pursuit of truth in Korean journalism
From blather and seductive images to the pursuit of truth in Korean journalism
Virtually every critical issue facing Korea today is omitted from major Korean major media, or reported on in a marginal or superficial manner. The trend has grown stronger over the past 10 ten years to the point where citizens find it impossible to ascertain the true state of affairs.

Too good to be true
Too good to be true
So the headlines in Seoul yesterday were splattered again with articles expressing tremendous optimism about the remarkable breakthrough so clearly represented by the agreement of U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jung-eun. There was also no small amount of drivel about how thankful President Moon Jae-in is, or should be, for the tremen...

Operation #MeToo begins
Operation #MeToo begins
There you have it. South Chungcheong Province Governor An Hee-jung was accused on TV of using his authority to force himself on his secretary Kim Ji-eun and was forced to step down immediately, without any formal investigation. The media basked in the glory of serving as the leading force for the liberation of Korean women from the long sexual oppression at the hands of Korea...

Why are Seoul's grocery stores dying?
Why are Seoul's grocery stores dying?
It does not take much digging to see a tremendous tragedy unfolding in Korean society today, yet the topic is studiously avoided not only at coffee with friends at Starbucks, but also in newspapers and in TV news broadcasts that serve to distract people from reality.

Bringing the world together to respond to the East China Sea oil spill
Bringing the world together to respond to the East China Sea oil spill
Last month’s oil spill in the East China Sea has produced the greatest ecological disaster to hit East Asia. The East China Sea spill is only surpassed in the history of oil spills by the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a catastrophe from which the ecosystem is still far from recovering.

The slow-motion civil war: America's three-way fight
The slow-motion civil war: America's three-way fight
We are witnessing a “three-way fight” in the U.S. that defies assumptions about politics over the past 70 years. A complex battle has reached a peak and it is what has allowed Trump to become president, and to remain in power thus far.

Cracking the Cha mystery
Cracking the Cha mystery
Korea’s mainstream media have been plastered with articles and editorials that repeat the storyline that Victor Cha expressed concerns about the so-called “bloody nose” strike on North Korea in his talks with the Trump White House and was dropped as a candidate for ambassador to Korea as a result.

It's media's fault, not readers'
It's media's fault, not readers'
I ask a journalist friend how we should respond to the precipitous decline in investigative reporting and disturbing replacement of a calm presentation of the facts about policy by sensationalist news about food, fashion, and the personalities of politicians. But when I explained the superficiality of reporting these days, the response I received is that readers (or viewers),...

The distinctive blue plate with white lettering that appeared last Friday outside the door of a recently refurbished office on the first floor of VICAS (Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies) in Hanoi featured elegant Vietnamese lettering. But at the bottom in small letters was written “The Asia Institute Hanoi Office.” It was January 14, 2018, the opening ce...
